though I tire of people going after individuals BECAUSE of their age rather than something specific about the person...

In general, close ages are good. But I think there are cases where 10 is just fine.

What happens between and among consenting adults is their own business.

I won't judge, but marriage is about building a bond of intimacy and trust. A much younger woman would feel more like a trophy and one too much older probably wouldnt keep up with my lifestyle. I know there are always exceptions.

Date ? Sure most of the men I date are more than 10 yrs. younger not by choice just that's who asks me to go out..Marry NO ! I was married to a man 20+ yrs.older and engaged to one 11 yrs. younger both had insecurities and jealousies resulting from the age difference that I just don't care to deal with.Lesson learned I want a partner not a father nor a son

Dammit. Hit the wrong button. Yes, it's okay. My wife is 10 years younger than me. My grandfather was almost 25 years older than my grandmother when they got married.

I cannot see why age would be an issue...well unless the youngest is underaged.....but when love comes into it, age matters not

if you're 20, dating a 10 year old, no.
50 dating 40 year old that's fine.

I was going to say just straight up "yes", but then I got to thinking, in this day and age I better specify the rule that the youngest member of this arrangement should be no less than 18, and preferably older than that. I mean 29/19 okay 22/12 NOT okay.

As long as you're 28 or older, it's totally fine to date someone 10 years younger than you.

I think the better question would be; Should others be allowed to but their nose in someone else's private life.

Depends - a 20 year old 'dating' a 10 year old - umm, we have laws about that.

A ten year gap when one is 40 and above is no big deal at all

Ten years isn't much of an age difference.
